PEARL SC-20 Electronic drum brain synthesizer

via this auction
"Pearl SC-20 Electronic drum brain
8channel programmable percussion synthesizer
it includes and creates wide variety of sounds
from typical '80s SIMMONS sound to very strange electronic noise
this is DCO synthesizer has many wave samples
so of course you can creates normal drum kit
but I recommends SC-20 for ELECTRO and strange electronic sound lovers
it's very easy to creates your own unique and strange percussions!
using various usable edit parameters(such as warm analog filter section)

edit parameters are
SOURCE:
wave
pitch
modulation
noise
bend env.
bend depth
bend speed

TONE:
filter freq
. filter env.
env depth
env speed
decay

ATTACK:
filter freq.
filter width
decay
balance

8 pad/trigger input
8 separate outpt
MIDI in out thru
stereo/mono output
headphone output"

Fruity Loops Debacle Update

I updated the original post with two videos from two bands that this situation reminded me of. IMonster with Day Dream in Blue and Beta band with Squares. Both used the same sample hook. Both released at roughly the same time. Do check them out. Trust me, it's worth it. There's some great EMS Synthi and KORG MS20 action in IMonstor's version. If the loop is the basis of a song, they are going to sound like the same song, or... maybe not? You be the judge. When you get to the previous post, scroll down to the red update. I also made a key part of the text yellow in case anyone missed it.

Update: for those that already checked out the update, I found the uncensored version of I Monster's Daydream In Blue. It's at the bottom of the post and NOT safe for work.

korg poly 61 subrtractive synthesis

"With the ocilliscope on yu can see how using a single ocillator a varitey of wave shape can be created. The Poly 61 has two ocillators and each ocillator only has two wave shapes: saw tooth and square, though the first ocillator has a pulse width modulation feature on its square wave form. Using only the first ocillator not ony can variation of a sqaure waves and sawtooth waves can be created but by using the filter section sine wave, triangle waves and far more complex wave forms can also be created."
